Because it needlessly puts the members who recieved the freebies in an awkward position. It's not hard to understand that surely?

Funny thing is, 2 people have stepped forward and offered to gladly return them, all happy. The others may have done so in private, we don't know. I don't see an awkward position, If i'd got the games from him, and he asked for them back I'd do so no problem...Whats awkward exactly?

i wouldn't go that far. tbh he is the one who is being publicly shamed as people like you and various others or kicking up a fuss over it. He has removed peoples names and said they don't give it back then he doesn't mind. People just need to stop kicking a fuss over it and see what the Paul and the people who have the games do.

you are right. But this thread in all honesty should be deleted -this should all be conducted in private. I would also delete all the other threads where TSG is giving stuff away out of generosity etc.

Whole thing is utterly bizarre. I feel sorry for TSG - mods remove it all - otherwise this is embarrassing.
 
Nobody is denying that the OP has been through a hard time and I sincerely hope he is feeling better now. I don't think he deserves punishment or anything like that, but the fact is, he gave people some games with no obligations.

He has no right to ask for them back, it's as simple as that. I'm sure nobody on this forum wishes any ill on him, and we're certainly not trolling, we're just pointing out what's obvious here.

My apologies if I've upset the OP, but I genuinely think he's in the wrong here, regardless of circumstance. Someone used charity as an example - if I gave my wages to Cancer Research UK this month, then realised I couldn't pay my rent, would I be entitled to ask for it back?

If he absolutely must ask for the games back, he should email the guys individually instead of guilting them in public. Again, sorry if I sound harsh but seriously, I'm right. You chaps who disagree obviously know the OP on a more personal level and I don't blame you for sticking up for him, but really, take a look at it from a non-personal perspective.

If the OP had sent me a game and asked for it back, I probably would send it back. Not because I'd feel guilty, but because I'm a nice guy. Although I'd be perfectly within my rights to keep it.

Are you going to the hospital you donated the PS3 too and asking for that back as well? If you give away stuff it's not yours anymore, you have no right to ask for it back really and it doesn't matter what frame of mind you were in, everyone goes through difficult times. Difference is we don't all give our stuff away then ask for it back later.

He does have the right to ask for it back I guess*, but certainly not in this way, and the people he asks to have his property back from don't have ANY obligation to give him it.

*In the same way that I have the right to ask you for your PS3 games - You can definitely tell me to get stuffed.

and then you see

Haha damn :p I hope they are good enough to send them back! Hope you're in a better place now matey!

Which can easily be seen as saying people aren't that good if they don't return them

I'm not having a go at either poster, or the OP.. I do sympathise with the situation, and am glad he's better, but there is no way you can say that in a public forum, you can just say there is no emotional oweness put on the people that accepted the games..

I agree this thread should be deleted though.. it's not going to go anywhere now..

Because whether or not they wanted to give the games back having the request made public puts pressure on them to do so

Absolutely, this!
 
Glad to hear you're feeling more yourself mate, hope you get back most if not all the things you gave away, lesson learnt and best of luck for the future mate :)

I asked the Mods to do that at the time. For two reasons, I knew he would regret it and secondly Soulja got a suspension for giving away console games in the consoles section.

Hardly consistent.

They should have locked it up at the time when it was clear the poor guy was suffering. I'm glad he's on the mend and don't really see why he's being attacked for a simple enough mistake at an emotional time.

Leave it up to the recievers to vent if they have a problem with it.

Glad your ok Sniper and next time don't let a beehatch get under your skin :D
 
Glad you're on the mend now TSG and I hope things continue to pick up for you :)
Hope you didn't give the PS3 away in the end!

Lol.

People who are dying of starvation and have no food are suffering. People who are living in a warzone who have their homes destroyed, family killed, are suffering.

I would hardly describe someone who split up with his GF as suffering.
 
People go through bad phases in life, it happens. Its a time when you learn who your true friends are... I hope you get at least some of your stuff back and put the rest down to experience :)
